Chapter 18

The beautiful sun rays shine through the room when my eye flew open. Aikens was lying beautifully beside me . I had never seen him sleeping before and just as I did, I felt he was just perfect in every way. I got off the bed and went to the kitchen just to find Jazzy getting breakfast ready. I smiled at her and greeted her good morning. I washed my hands to join her so we could prepare breakfast together . She had a beautiful smile and now that I took a good look at her, he looked a little bit like Aikens.

"I came to wake you but it seemed you were occupied that was why I let you be", she spoke when I started with some of the dishes. 'She came to my room?', I thought but I didn't know it was obvious on my face what I was thinking.

"No need to worry, I understand you guys missed each other that you couldn't sleep in separate rooms ", she spoke again making my face burn.

"Urhm… I need to get something from the room", I said and ran off to the room. She really is a silly girl I thought as I got to the room. Aikens was already up when I got to the room and he seemed he was in a hurry to go out.

"Are you going somewhere?", I asked hugging him from behind.

"Just want to check up on an old friend, I'd be back ", he said and it got me worried since he never spoke about having any friend. He turned to face me , placed a gentle kiss on my cheek and headed out of the room. I followed him out but he made his way to the kitchen. He scattered the utensils and took out an object which he put it in his pocket, Jazzy wasn't in the kitchen at that moment.

He headed out of the kitchen towards the door.

"Aikens, stop there, I need to talk to you", I called out but he ignored my call. I had to think of something else to catch his attention. I deliberately fell and made a painful cry.

"Ouch, my ankle", I cried out. He stood still when he was able to open the door. I needed to act as fast as I could. "Gosh, that hurts", I cried again. He hurried to my side and carried me to sit in the couch. He went to get the first aid box so he would be able to apply some cream on my so called injured ankle. He applied a minty balm on my ankle and massage it carefully with a worried look. I knew he was thinking it was his fault I was hurt but that was all I could do to stop him.

He raised his head to look at me thinking I was in pain just to find me smiling brightly at him.

"You massage so well", I complemented.

"You aren't hurt?", he asked shocked

"Were you praying for me to get hurt?", I chuckled. "Well, I didn't want you to do anything crazy", I shrugged. He stopped massaging my ankle and stared at me. He sat beside me bringing out a knife from his pocket.

"Why did you stop me?", he inquired.

"You would have made a mistake if I had not stopped you"

"So what happens to Scotts"

"We would leave it to the police to deal with him"

"If that's what you want then…", I cut him off be giving him a peck on the lips so he wouldn't continue whatever he wanted to say. I sat on his laps to continue what I started when a faked cough came from behind, it was Jazzy. I had even forgotten she was in the house too.

"I love the chemistry", she teased.

"Urhm…Ja …Jazzy, you are here, I didn't realize ", I struggled to speak making Aikens laugh. I shot him a sharp glare and he kept quiet.

"No need to worry, I'm just a stubborn kid who wouldn't focus on what she has to do. I'd be in my room so you can continue from where you stopped", she said and turned to leave. The day went by normally without any special event and soon, it was evening. I wanted to go back to my apartment but I was scared Scotts would attack me since he knows that's where I stay.

As if Aikens heard my inner thoughts, he asked me to spent the night with him.

"You don't have to worry about me, besides you know I'm very brave", I said giving him a wink.

"Bae , please stop being stubborn and listen to me" . 'Did he just call me Bae? It's been a long time since I was addressed as such', I thought

"What did you just call?", I pretended not to have heard it.

"Don't you like it?

"You don't have the right to call me that since we are both single", I said proudly.

"What do you mean, you accepted to be my girlfriend yesterday "

"I did?", I totally forgot I accepted to be his girlfriend, so childish of me. "Well I know I did but it's only my fiancé who can call me bae", I said trying to hid my shame.

"Then will you marry me?", he asked in a bewitching tone.
